About

After three decades behind the decks, DJing isn’t just something I do - it’s how I see the world. Every record tells a story, and I want to help you craft yours, whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up.

What I Teach

• Online video lessons split into two series:
  • ‘Tips & Tricks’ - a deep dive into the practical side of DJing with industry gear like the Pioneer CDJ-3000 and DJM-A9. I cover classic crossfades, three-deck mixing, and real-world advice for using effects and nailing transitions.
  • ‘Vinyl Stories’ - for the heads who dig crate culture and want to learn on turntables and rotary mixers. We use records from my own shelves and talk about the history behind the tunes, not just the moves.

My Style

I keep things real and hands-on. I’ll show you how to mix, but also why it works. Expect loads of breakdowns on how to bring drama with echo, get creative with acapellas, and use isolators for that punchy house sound. Not everything will click overnight - some stuff takes practice, some you only learn by feeling the crowd.

Who’s It For

• Beginners, producers, and seasoned DJs.
• Anyone obsessed with house music or wanting advanced mixing techniques for DJs.
• Folks who want honest, no-nonsense lessons from someone who’s seen it all.
